It's gettin' to be that time of year. I'm getting the itch to work on the hot rod. Here are a few pics of my 1955 F-100. It is in dire need of another resto, and it will be getting it this season. [img:center] [/img] 351 Windsor. Looks much better now, but not running so hot yet for some reason. [img:center] [/img] if for some reason it won't run... it's getting this. 390 FE bored .0040 [img:center] [/img]

I like em. Even the vintage Chevy's. The rest of them are my dad's. I'm debating taking the stacks off the '55. they are hard to keep clean, and they rattle a lot. The problme is, if I do, I'll have a hole in a set of $700 running boards.

I thought so . Also one of 3 year models for the M635, a grey market variant of the US model M6 that was lighter, had more horsepower, and is a lot more desirable than the US version.

I was gonna give you crap about the 85 and say, hey that's not old enough to be a hot rod.....then I realized how long ago 1985 was... gettin old sucks. Good looking cars.

68 Plymouth Roadrunner, built 440 (I eventually put a highrise dual 4 bbl setup on it and ran without the hood). Tubbed, 9 inch 3500 rpm stall converter with a built 727 torquflite tranny. Ran about 600 hp......and would light those big back tires up easy.

do you have to roll the windows up to keep it from twisting in half?

Here's some of our stuff. I was out in the shop today working on this one. my daughter's car, 1965 mustang coupe. A code 289 (factory 4 barrel)auto trans. I'm getting the power steering in order right now. Someone tossed out the original pump, pump bracket & cut the hoses & left the power assist valve & cylinder in place, probably 20 years ago. I have a new control valve & center link on the way, I should have it Wed. I rebuilt the power assist cylinder today. Everything else joint & bushing wise up front is new. She'll be a tight driver when i get it back together. I'll start stripping the paint off of it next week & starting body work. It'll be painted & on the road in a short time. I'll probably post the body & paint work as a project with my daughter "weezy". Here's another in my shop. 66 chevy caprice with a 327/powerglide. This was our daily driver when me & pam were married in 92. It remained our daily driver up until around 96. it needs to be gone through, mostly body & paint. I'd hop in it & drive in anywhere right now. some junk outside the shop. 64 ford galaxie 500xl, 390 with a toploader 4 speed. rough body. 54 chev 210 delray. straight 6, 3 in the tree. it runs, all this stuff runs. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/100_2986.jpg[/img] I've got a project I'll rev up in a couple months that you guys are going to like.
